Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) called on the political parties and forces in the country to prepare for the upcoming elections by engaging in a serious discussion about how to distribute voting districts, vote counting, and the preparation of a civil registry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a meeting chaired by TSC Chairman Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan at the Republican Palace in Khartoum yesterday, the TSC assigned responsibility to a few members to initiate a discussion on the formation of a committee to form the Electoral Commission and the Constitution-writing Commission.<\/p>\n

The formation of these two committees has been stipulated in the constitutional document and should happen soon as the transitional period has lasted for two years.<\/p>\n

The Constitutional Document was signed in August 2019<\/a> by the then ruling Transitional Military Council and the opposition Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC). The detailed document<\/a> stipulates how Sudan will be governed in a ‘transitional period’ of three years and three months. At the end of this period, free and fair elections must be held.<\/p>\n

Mohamed El Faki Suleiman, the official spokesman of the TSC, said in a press statement that the political parties and forces should invite their members to hold workshops on the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n
